NBA ROLE: CREATIVE, two-way PLAYMAKER

Markelle Fultz: #1 overall pick in 2017; extremely natural traits as a two-way “creator” - Fultz's movements are smooth: rarely sped up, in control of his dribble, deliberate & knows how/when to get to where he needs to go; shifty w/ the rock (regularly splits double-teams), uses screeners to his adv. before lofting short floaters or stepping back for Js; good passer: must learn to distribute evenly, keep teammates well-fed & engaged; average distance shooter at this stage, has improved shot mechanics & confidence spotting up; struggles from the foul line; very good defender, racks up steals and astounds with impressive blocks (will play a large role in the Magic turning into a defensive powerhouse); developing well in Orlando - Fultz is steadily growing as a premiere point
